REMEMBERING THE WOMEN

If you look at the following pics, you can probably guess where I will be spending this Saturday. 
As my Dad always jokingly said,  "Folks are just dying to get in..." Ba da boom.

But this volunteer will be a tour guide for the La Crosse Historical Society's 17th Production of Discover the Silent City in La Crosse's Oak Grove Cemetery on September 17th no less. 

If the mosquitoes/gnats don't carry me away, (Don't worry they will go straight for me,) we should have a fine time learning about 8 Remarkable Women of La Crosse who are buried here. Each year the tours have a different topic (i.e. the Civil War Years) and this year will create some gender balance concentrating on some of its female residents's contributions. 

This guide will be donning period appropriate clothing equipped with a script filled with cemetery factoids for the visitors. Eight costumed actors will be strategically placed near their grave sites relaying their stories on the hour long cemetery tour.

Additionally this year will be 2 motor coach tours one departing at 10:45am and a second at 11am with the remainder tours being walking tours between 11am - 3pm.

If you are lucky enough to be in the area, come join us for a walk back in Wisconsin history at 1407 La Crosse St, Oak Grove Cemetery. Hope to see you there.
